    I'll try this again ... I have become interested in small engines for about 15 years now. There always seems to be tinkering to be done with engines in lawn mowers, snow blowers, rotary tillers and lawn tractors. I am hoping to gain access to individuals with greater knowledge about small...

    We have a really old Craftsman Model 917.253720 utility tractor with a 842.26062 snow thrower attachment.

    I need some insight on an issue I'm having with my lawn tractor. It's a 26Hp Kholer (SV735) and it surges constantly, unless I play with the choke a bit. I've cleaned the carb, etc, regapped plugs. That's when I noticed the right cylinger is running lean. Any ideas? I can't find a breech/ vacuum...
